Empires Win at Toronto, 5-2
The New York Empires picked up a win at Dominion Field, knocking off the Toronto Hurons, 5-2. Starting pitcher Andy Humphrey played a key role in the triumph. With the loss, Toronto sinks to 5-3.

New York took a 5-1 lead on Roger Hickey's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Hickey hit in the top of the seventh, left Toronto pitcher Ron Gordon visibly frustrated.

Humphrey called the win "a collective effort."
